My friend Dana's month long trip to Thailand has come to an end, she spent the last few days in Bangkok, and after work last Friday I took the bus into the city to join her. It was a little overcast on Saturday, but very hot. After breakfast we took a ferry up the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun. Wat Arun is really neat, the entire exterior of the temple is covered in broken Chinese porcelain. Every sculpture and pattern is made of these intricate three-dimensional mosaics, the detail is amazing! There are a few different levels that you can climb to by scaling up some really steep stairs, and from the top you get a nice view of Bangkok across the river. After Wat Arun we grabbed lunch and then spent the rest of the day exploring street markets.
Wats going on?
